Additional Employee Database Settings

Article summary

There is a number of additional settings in the Employee Database section. To work with them, go to Settings > Settings and Configuration > Core HR, click Employee Database in the left panel and select the Advanced tab.

Note
You need to click the Apply Changes button for any of the changes to these settings to take effect.

The additional settings are:

  • Employee Full Name Template is the template to automatically form an employee's full name from existing fields, if available, such as from the FirstName, MiddleName, LastName and  PreferredName fields. The template that defines which fields will be used to generate the employee full name can consist of the following elements: {FirstName}, {LastName}, {MiddleName}, {PreferredName} . If this setting is empty, the employee full name will be generated using the default template: {LastName} {FirstName}The full name is allowed to be edited manually only when this setting is empty. If the MiddleName field value does not exist, but present in the template, the MiddleInitial field value will be used instead. In case a value for one of the fields is not found, the full name will consist only of found values without any empty spaces between them.
    Note
    The template will be used for generating the full name to be displayed on the employee card and also for generating the full name for employees and candidates that are created in Lanteria HR automatically (by means of integration or Candidate Self-Service).
    If the template is changed after the employees have been imported to or created in Lanteria HR, the full name for the existing employees won't be updated immediately. New template will be applied to the newly created employee records and old records after any changes in the employee data.
